Today is World Book Day, and P5 enjoyed participating in the Footie Bookie online quiz, along size thousands of other UK schools.

Primary 5 have been learning about colonisation in Australia. They have been creating Aboriginal inspired artwork using pointillism techniques and natural colours. They have also been learning about and creating their own resist prints.

Well done to everyone in Primary 5 who entered the XA factor.  We loved all the performances.

Big congratulations to Troy who won this year.

Primary 5 worked collaboratively to create our artwork and positive vocabulary to describe them as individuals.

Well done Struan

Primary 5 have been creating their own cartoon characters and learning how to animate them.

Today we explored air resistance.  The children created shapes with different area sizes and predicted which would wall quickest.  We then had a parachute challenge to see who could create the most air resistance to safely land their parachute.

Everyone is excited it’s gymnastics time. So many skills are being learned and fun had by all.

Primary 5 have been compiling their own surveys, and then using their IT skills to create bar graphs and pie charts before analysing their data.

Primary 5 have been learning about the benefits of plants. They have investigated a variety of plants this term and grew their own cress.
